Cancer screening navigation for employers & benefits consultants

You cover the screenings.We make sure they happen.

Stage Zero identifies which cancer screenings each person needs, then stays with them until the right test is complete — through the health plan and doctors already in place.

Why it matters

Screening works only when people complete it.

The screenings are already in the plan. The gap is knowing who needs what, helping them act, and staying with the process until it is done.

How it works

From risk assessment to completed screening.

Your health plan already covers the screenings. Your network already has the doctors. Stage Zero connects the two: who needs which test, what should happen next, and whether it was completed.

1

Know who needs what

A short health history, published guidelines, and validated risk models identify which screenings each person may need.

2

Make the next step easy

A named care guide helps find an in-network option, handles scheduling, and works with the member's existing doctors and coverage.

3

Track completion

Open care gaps stay visible until they are resolved. Employers receive de-identified reporting on assessment and screening completion.

Federal preventive-services guideline

HRSA guidelines now include navigation for breast and cervical cancer screening.

HRSA's current women's preventive-services guidelines include patient navigation for breast and cervical cancer screening and follow-up, based on a person's need for navigation. Stage Zero helps plans put that requirement into practice.

What changed

A close relative's cancer diagnosis can change when screening should start and how often it should happen.

Risk reviewEarlier screening may apply
Family history

Turn family history into a clear next step.

Stage Zero captures who had which cancer and at what age. Published guidelines and validated risk models then help identify what the member should discuss with their own clinician.

Common questions

What benefits teams and their consultants ask us first.

Is this medical care?

No. Stage Zero provides cancer risk assessment and screening navigation. We do not sell tests, diagnose cancer, or deliver treatment. Members complete screening through their own doctors and health plan.

How do you assess risk?

We use published clinical guidelines and validated risk models. The exact model depends on the cancer type and the member's health and family history. Screening decisions remain with the member and their clinician.

What does the employer see?

De-identified, population-level reporting: how many people completed the assessment, received a screening recommendation, and completed screening. Employers do not see individual health information.

Does this replace anything we already have?

No. Stage Zero works with the plan, network, doctors, and cancer-support benefits already in place. There is no new clinic or provider network to adopt.

Where does the HRSA requirement fit in?

HRSA's current women's preventive-services guidelines include patient navigation for breast and cervical cancer screening and follow-up, based on assessed need. See what the guideline includes.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on the eligible population and program scope. We share complete pricing in the first conversation and can review it directly with your consultant.

How long does it take to launch?

Most launches begin with an eligibility file and a communications plan. The final timeline depends on population size, data requirements, and the agreed program scope.
